Microsoft unveils next-generation quantum chip Majorana 2, targets commercial quantum computers by 2029
Microsoft has unveiled its next-generation topological quantum chip, Majorana 2, and set a goal of building a scalable quantum computer with commercial value by 2029. The company said development automation using artificial intelligence has brought forward the timeline for commercialisation significantly from prior expectations. It said Majorana 2 improves qubit reliability by about 1,000 times and can maintain quantum states for an average of 20 seconds and up to nearly 1 minute.
